Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 84
Derek had received a message from an anonymous number immediately after they left PrimeStar."If you are willing to know more about Autumn and how to pull her down, meet me at Ivy club."The message caught his attention and ignited curiosity. He was too engulfed in the message to process the fact that he needed to call Gage first before he headed out.However he left hurriedly.He was a bit worried when he got to the basement, and at the same time he instantly contemplated on calling Gage as he was with no body guard in a club like Ivy.Ivy was known for promiscuity and a lot of abominable acts. In short, it was known to accommodate criminals.While he thought of calling Gage, somebody from behind had suddenly thrown a blindfold into his face and tied his hands. He tried earnestly to struggle off the blind folds and the holds on his hands but the person was just too strong for him.In a short while, he felt the room was void and there were no traces of movement.Derek regained his str

Derek vowed to get back at whoever was involved in the kidnapping and shared his picture to the net.That same morning, he sent Gage a message, stating that it happened to him at the Ivy club and he asked him to investigate whoever was in charge if whatever happened to him.Derek dressed up and left the house for work, only to receive the information after a few hours. It stated that Autumn was the one who orchestrated the whole drama for reasons obviously unknown.Angrily, he went in search of Autumn with the evil eye bracelet she had gifted to his wife.He dashed into her house without courtesy, after he bypassed the security men.Her sitting room was filled with people who seems to be her business partners, but he cared less about that. All he wanted was to get his pound of flesh back."Yes, my good friend Derek, what do you any here?" she leaned back into the chair with her legs crossed."Autumn, would it be good to explain why you are after my wife and I?""What are you talking a

The honk was repeated, alarming and disturbing at the same time.Derek took the first initiative to check whom it was.His first step out of the door, he was greeted by insulting words. "Hey looser! You are still alive huh!"Such words were no surprise to him, it wasn't the first time Morphie would orchestrate such neither would it be the last.He smiled and said. "Of course I'm alive. Why have you come Morphie?" his presence was suspicious, he had never paid such visit, not even the time when Brenda was taken as a rejected child."Just hold it. I'm not here for you. I am here to see my sister.""She isn't…""Morphie!" Derek was about covering up her presence with words, but she came out cutting him midway."Morphie! Why have you come? Why are you here?" she was equally surprised and couldn't find back her home of surprises."Why! Can't I come visiting my sister! Has that also become a crime because of this trash?!" Morphie sneered in contempt."Visiting! You obviously don't do that!

The once elated atmosphere suddenly became intense.Mrs Reids mounting the podium felt like a sting to Brenda.She had a moment of gaze locking with Mrs Reids, everything about her breathed suspicion.Nevertheless, Brenda curved a slight smile, applauded the moment everyone also did. Then the long expected speech started."Ladies and gentlemen, most highly respected and honored in the whole of Dominican, I welcome you to this lovely gathering. But before I proceed, I'll like to open today's ceremony with a beautiful speech."Applause was all over the place, all eyes were fixed on her as each person tried to anticipate what she really had stuck for them."Well, as you all know, the Reids family are officially four which I would be so grateful for the impact every one of them had made to form togetherness as a family.There were several applause from every angle while she called out names.Smiles found its way to Brenda's face, she never expected that to come from her mum, not even at t
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 88
"She is obviously a rebellious as stated by her mum.""A mother wouldn't fail to recognise the child she gave birth to. Getting married without the blessing of your parents, is obviously an act of rebeliousness.""A whole socialite getting married to a nonentity is an act of unworthiness.""She is a disgrace to woman race, she is a disgrace to womanhood."Several unpalatable comments kept rolling in. Brenda was suddenly pulled into a deep daze with uncontrollable tears freely flowing.Clarine was really sorry to see her friend hurting badly. Two things had befallen her in the spade of two close consecutive days.She took the situation seriously and decided to have a good chat with Derek as quickly as possible. She wanted to know why he had decided to visit Ivy Club even while he treated his wife so well. "He should never have hurt her, by going for another woman." she said to herself.In a short while, Brenda collapsed right into her arms. Thankfully, it would have been more than th

"What favor do you want from me?" She was surprised and curious to know what he wanted. Her brows were knotted together while she anticipated his answer."I want you to speak to your friend, she isn't listening to me. Let her understand that I still love her and I never cheated on her."Clarine didn't like him. But she never would allow anything to hurt her friend. They've always got each other's back right from childhood till date. And even if it were Derek who was willing to hurt Brenda, Clarine was ready to kick his ass."You know I'd have you messed up by the corps if you really found yourself a mistress. But now that it’s all a misunderstanding, I’ll clear the air for you.’“But may I clarify something?""Yea, sure please do.""So, if you didn't go to Ivy to find a mistress, what else took you there? Why did you go there In the first place?""Do you even know what everyone or anyone who saw you go in there would have thought?"Derek knitted his grow together first, then secondly

Brenda immediately called Mr Reid line to confirm what she had been told and at the same time, she wished whatever Derek said was actually wrong in the first place.As much as his phone rang, he never picked. It was so unusual of him not to pick her calls, he was fond of her and felt sorry even though he could do nothing to turn around the heart of her mum towards her.Brenda shook in great fear. 'It seems Derek was telling the truth after all. She thought inwardly, with sweats all over her.The news of Mr Reids being in a vegetative state quickly took her by storm.At the same time, Brenda’s phone was nearly blowing up from calls. However, she chose not to pick a single one of them up and simply switched her phone off. She immediately found her way out to the bus stop to flag down a cab.On the other hand, Morphie rejoiced when he received the call. ‘Very well hoped. Initially, I should have been the main suspect in this incident. But Derek, you’re so unlucky to have visited dad the
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 91
Morphie and Mrs Reid locked eyes for a few seconds. Initially the plan Morphie had was to make Derek go to prison but with the bet, he could do nothing anymore.He regretted the fact that he never placed a camera, but still it was never planned. He decided to let it go while he looked for another way to deal with him.“Fine, I'll let him go for now, until I come out with concrete evidence.”Everyone was shocked by Morphie’s decision. 'Wasn't he stupid to give up a culprit who was involved in his father's health issue just because of owning properties? What kind of child does that?' several murmurs went round.Just then, Damon Reid spoke up. “Do you think Charles, your dad would be happy that you are letting the culprit go without punishment?" Unfortunately, his words didn’t hold any weight.“Uncle, I'm the head of the family now, and also the director of the Reids group. I therefore don’t need you to teach me what to do.”Damon didn’t want to speak anymore, but he felt foul play. ‘Ho

W-what’s going on?The ten-odd bodyguards who barged in glared at Derek like he was a great enemy.On the ground, Perry gritted his teeth resentfully as he struggled to raise his head to look at the bodyguards and ordered, “Kill… kill him!”The punch Derek threw at his abdomen left Perry in so much pain that he was on the verge of throwing up all the food he had eaten for the past few days. The slightest movement made him feel intense pain in his stomach.For the past few decades of his life, Perry had never been beaten up like this or suffered such a huge loss before!If Derek could still leave Perry ’s turf under the siege of so many bodyguards, Perry would be thoroughly embarrassed!The ten-odd bodyguards and Perry ’s personal bodyguard acknowledged and immediately surrounded Derek.Derek smiled coldly and raised his leg to kick the bald bodyguard who rushed in front of him, sending him flying!“Ah!” The bald bodyguard let out a miserable cry as his body was propelled upward be

“No!” Perry refused resolutely. “This isn’t a small business. We’ve monopolised it in Dominican! If I recommend some clients to you, won’t I be giving my family a competitor for no reason?”Derek shook his head. “I naturally won’t run this business in Dominican and become your competitor.”After giving it some thought, Perry still didn’t believe Derek. “Your roots are all in Dominican. Why should I believe that you would leave this place and go elsewhere to run this business.”Derek shrugged. “It’s up to you to believe me or not. Mr. Perry, please get your facts right. I’m doing you a favour by asking you to recommend clients to me. To put it bluntly, the Bathhouse is in my hands now, and so are those beautiful women. Even if I take over the business directly now, what can you do for me?”Derek's words made Perry’s face turn gloomy again.But this was really what the current situation was like. Since that bastard manager had presumptuously sold the Bathhouse, Derek was the dominant p
CHAPTER 291
Perry’s face was naturally extremely gloomy at this point.Derek was clearly trying to intimidate him!It was just an ordinary dice, but the power that emerged from Derek’s hand when he threw it was not inferior to the power contained in a bullet shot from a gun!Besides, the dice Derek shot had landed near Perry’s head. If Derek had intended to kill Perry, he would have probably been shot in the head by now!At the thought of this, Perry felt his entire body’s hair stand on end, and cold sweat rapidly seeped out of his pores, making him chilly all over.And Perry’s elite bodyguard was also overwhelmed with shock.As a bodyguard, he should protect his employer’s safety in any emergency situation.But the speed of the dice Derek shot out just now was so quick that it wasn’t visible to the naked eye. In fact, he only figured out what happened after hearing the terse and sharp sound of the dice shuttling through the air, followed by the loud bang.He couldn’t even react in time, let alon
CHAPTER 290
When Perry saw how bold and fearless Derek was, his facial muscles twitched a little as he gritted his teeth with great resentment and viciousness in his eyes.With a hypocritical grin, he said, “Hehe, why would I do that? Since I invited you here, I naturally have something to discuss with you.”He thought he had hidden his intentions well. But being a sharp and shrewd person, Derek had long seen through Perry.“Mr. Perry, don’t beat around the bush with me. If you have anything to say, just say it.” Derek couldn’t be bothered to exchange hypocritical pleasantries with him. He simply leaned against the couch and got straight to the point.Seeing Derek taking the lead in the conversation, Perry was displeased, and his face immediately turned dark.He waved his hand, and the few scantily clad beauties sitting beside him immediately walked out of the room.Soon, only Derek, Perry, and a burly man who followed Perry wherever he went were the only ones left in the large private room.Dere
CHAPTER 289
Derek frowned.He didn’t expect Aiden to die despite being in police custody.But there were definitely potential loopholes everywhere. If it was really the doing of the force that Derek guessed, the police would likely be defenceless and unable to guard against their actions.But Aiden’s death was not in vain. At the very least, Derek was now certain that the mastermind who instigated Aiden was more likely than not same person who sent the photographer.Otherwise, Aiden wouldn’t have died so easily.“Okay, I know.”Derek was about to hang up the phone when he noticed in the rearview mirror that there were several inconspicuous cars tailing his car. Their intentions were unclear, but he knew that they had to be up to no good.He frowned. They’re really everywhere. How annoying!He wondered who sent these people to tail him.With a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, Derek hung up the phone and quickly made another call. “Come to Clarine's apartment, I will send you an address.”Der
CHAPTER 288
Derek couldn't tell who it was yet, but he knew he would find out.With a sharp and cold gaze in his eyes, Derek raised his head and looked distantly in the direction of the DC. “Hmph, I don’t care who you really are. As long as you dare to reach your hand here, I don’t mind chopping it off!”When Derek reached the amusement park entrance, he saw Clarine waiting here for him worriedly.“Derek, did you get what you went for? Did you find everything?” she asked curiously.Derek raised his arm with two paper bags and said with a faint smile, “I got them. Fortunately, there was no queue.Clarine grinned and teased, “It turns out you really are caring.”Derek smiled. He merely nodded and said, “Yeah, so you have to be like me as well. In the meantime, it's getting late, let's go home.”Clarine nodded happily. Soon, the two of them got into Lucas’s car and sped off.…At this moment, in a luxurious villa in Dominican.A young man in his twenties was reclining on a soft leather sofa with a s
CHAPTER 287
Derek was still trying to figure out who it was, but then he scurried away quickly. But after covering only a short distance, he discovered that a tall and phantom-like figure had appeared in front of him to block him from leaving.“Still trying to run, huh?”The young man was flabbergasted because the person in front of him was the same person he had been secretly snapping photos of!A few seconds ago, this person was clearly more than meters behind him, yet he was standing in front of him in the blink of an eye. How did he do it?!Having been discovered and even stopped by the person he was secretly snapping photos of, the young man got a little nervous and gritted his teeth. He then barked in a menacing voice, “Why are you stopping me? Get lost!”Derek sneered and pointed at the camera the young man was holding. He asked indifferently, “You’ve been tailing me all afternoon, so you must have taken a lot of pictures, right? Did you think no one could discover you when you’re so clums
CHAPTER 286
In fact, Derek could have chosen not to catch Aiden and let him fall to his death just now, as he ought to reap what he sowed.But the words Aiden said earlier made Derek suspect that someone was instigating him. So Derek caught him and allowed him to stay alive to interrogate him and find out more from him.But the matter of Aiden taking Clarinet hostage and trying to jump off the building with her had alarmed almost all the police systems in the city. Many reporters had also hurried over with their cameras and equipment to get the first hand news scoop.In such a situation, Derek naturally couldn’t interrogate Aiden personally. He simply handed Aiden over to the special police officers for them to investigate.The chief special police officer nodded and instructed his subordinates to send Aiden to the hospital. After Aiden came to, they would bring him in for interrogation immediately.Of course, as the parties involved in the incident, Derek and Clarine had to make a mandatory trip
CHAPTER 285
Clarine watched as Derek vanished from the edge of the roof and screamed at the top of her lungs uncontrollably, “Derek!”Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks, and she started bawling loudly, feeling as if her heart was being stabbed by daggers.In contrast, Aiden laughed out loud in great excitement. “Hahaha! What a dimwit. I managed to kill him so easily! I’m going to get rich again soon. Hahaha!”The police on the rooftop of the building couldn’t stop Derek in time and could only watch as he jumped off the building. They all shouted in horror and regret.At the same time, the crowd of onlookers on the ground also shrieked loudly in amazement.When Aiden heard the commotion at the bottom of the building, he guffawed hysterically with great smugness. Then he grabbed Clarine by the collar and looked at the ground to admire the scene of Derek’s badly mangled flesh after he fell off the building.Suddenly, there was a major change!A pair of hands suddenly reached over from the
